Lin Yanchao was still pondering, and he hadn't reacted after listening to Hou Zhongshu's question. On the side, Zhang Guihe was already very disdainful Hou Zhongshu said: "I tell you to read more on weekdays, but you don't even know about Lianpu Lin, it's really blind." ”

"If you don't know, you don't know, I don't ask you, Brother Chao, you come to sue me!" Hou Zhongshu asked Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao knew the name of the Lianpu Lin family, he was idle and bored in his last life, so he crossed the history of the Ming Dynasty, and remembered that he had an evaluation of the Lianpu Lin family. The Ming Dynasty has three five Shangshu, and has to be written, and the Lin family is only.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were only scholars in the university, two capitals and six departments, and the main official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had it. And the reputation before and after the body needs to be good, such as Yan Song and others who are characterized as traitors, even if they are the first assistant, they will not be able to get a nickname after death. In history, Zhang Juzheng and Zhen Wenzhong, and when they were later liquidated, their nicknames were also stripped away.

And the Lianpu Lin family, not only three generations of five Shangshu, but also has a nickname, belongs to the high power in front of the body, the decent family behind the family, no wonder the history of the Ming Dynasty said that there is only one in the world. Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyi actually came out of the Lianpu Lin clan of the third generation and the fifth Shangshu.

Without waiting for Lin Yanchao to answer, Zhang Guihe said teasingly: "Have you heard of the three sacrificial wines and four books?" ”

Well? One less, by the way, this is only in the Wanli period, probably there is one more person in the Lin family, and there is no official Shangshu.

"What are the Three Sacrifices Wine and Four Shangshu?" Hou Zhongshu shook his head.

Zhang Guihe sighed, revealing a look that could not be taught, and said: "Say you are stupid, you still don't believe it, this means that the Lianpu Lin clan, there have been three people who have been appointed to the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and four people are the official to the Shangshu, what do you say?" "'It's not a big deal to sell liquor in the country!' Lin Yanchao coughed lightly, distanced himself from Hou Zhongshu, and said in a low voice: "It's the Guozi Prisoner's sacrificial wine, and the prisoners in the Guozi Prison are all his protégés. The protégé of the inspector of a province is but a student of a province. And the protégé of the two capital state eunuchs is the prisoner of half of the Ming Dynasty. "I see, the four Shangshu, that is, the four official Shangshu," Hou Zhongshu said, "We have only one Shangshu in Hongtang Township." ”

The Shangshu of Hongtang Township is Zhang Jing, the ancestor of Zhang Xiang, Zhang Jing was an official to the military department, and the entire southeast of the Ming Dynasty was controlled by him.

Lin Yanchao explained: "In this dynasty, the scholar and doctor have stood up to the sky, and being an official during his lifetime can only achieve the second grade, even if he is a dignified cabinet university scholar, he is only a fifth grade, and he has to hang a Shangshu title on the back to be among the second ranks, and the four Shangshu of the Lin family, the four second-grade members, you say that it is not powerful." ”

Indeed, the three generations and the four Shangshu are even if a family is so glorious.

In the past, three generations of a family, three jinshi, and even three people could be said to be able to take the imperial examination, and in any place, it can be regarded as awesome. But this Lianpu Lin clan actually produced four Shangshu in three generations, not to mention the next one, the entire Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and there is only this one.

And Lin Chengyi is actually from a big family like the Lianpu Lin family, and no one knows in advance.

But after Lin Chengyi admitted that he was a side branch of the Lin clan in Lianpu, everyone felt better, and it is no wonder that he was downtrodden to Hongtang Social School to teach before. But this time he went to school, he was still the head of the college examination, and the clan elders also attached importance to him, and it seemed that he was going to focus on cultivation.

Leaning on the big tree of Lianpu Lin's family, this incomparably deep background and heritage, Lin Chengyi's future is limitless. Everyone was secretly sorry and wanted to hug their thighs, but after so many years, they realized that their thighs were right in front of them, why didn't they have a good relationship with Lin Chengyi before. But Lin Chengyi can have today, not because of Lin Yanchao, everyone can't help but sweep towards Lin Yanchao with envy. It's just that this person worships under the Hu Ti School, and there will be Lin Chengyi's support in the future, hey, the biggest beneficiary is this kid. But Lin Yanchao seemed to know nothing, sitting there what to eat, what to eat, and his expression was very low-key.

Zhang Xiang withdrew his gaze from Lin Yanchao, and said to Lin Chengyi: "Mr. is a high school talent, after entering school, he is valued by the clan, and he also said a family matter. This is really a big Dengke and a small Dengke, happy and happy! Zhang Xiang actually began to flatter Lin Chengyi.

Mr. Zhang was also unwilling to say: "Sir, I'm just afraid that if you go to the top, I'm afraid you won't remember us in the future." ”

"How come, I am in Hongtang Township under the care of Young Master Zhang and President Zhang, I must remember this love."

Zhang Xiang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Sir, I salute you for this glass of wine." ”

"Mr. Lin, come and I will respect you!" The villagers raised their glasses one after another, and the taste of the stammers became stronger.

On the second day, Lin Chengyi and his old mother packed up their things and returned to their hometown, and before leaving, the students were all called to talk.

Lin Yanchao is still the last.

Outside the house, the villagers cleaned up the house for Lin Chengyi, prepared the mules and horses, and Lin Chengyi and Lin Yanchao were both in the house.

Lin Chengyi first cared about Lin Yanchao's homework and asked, "How are you preparing for schoolwork?" Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. Hui's words, I have finished reading the university chapters and sentences you gave me, and I am reading the Analects, and I am asking Mr. Xin for advice." ”

Lin Chengyi nodded and said: "There must be a teacher in the threesome, although Mr. Xin is an old boy, but he has also passed the county test and the government test, you can't look down on him because he fell in the hospital test." ”

Lin Yanchao could say that he really looked down on him, so he replied: "The student worked very hard to ask Mr. Xin for advice." ”

"I know, I asked him about your studies."

"Mr. New, do you praise me for being very talented?" Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile.

Lin Chengyi straightened his face and said, "You say talent? ”

Lin Yanchao immediately sat upright and said, "Sir, the student has lost his temper." ”

Lin Chengyi's expression eased slightly, but he still said with a straight face: "Who has talent in reading, I don't know if I am a teacher, but even if I don't have talent, I never slack off and work hard, and I always have the same heart to learn, which is more important than talent." ”

Although Lin Yanchao was reprimanded by Lin Chengyi, he also took Lin Chengyi's words seriously.

Lin Yanchao corrected his mistake at the moment, and said respectfully: "Mr. said, the student has been taught." ”

Lin Chengyi was very satisfied with Lin Yanchao's attitude, and he didn't say with a straight face at the moment: "Your studies, Mr. Zhou told me, he said that you are specializing in scriptures, and you are struggling to find a way, right?" ”

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Yes, sir, the students are suffering from this, so please give me some advice." ”

Lin Chengyi said: "As a teacher, I will take the county test for you in the future, and the government test can be concluded, but now I have to prepare for the township test, I am afraid I will not be able to find time to guide you." ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but wail in his heart, thought about it and asked the topic he was most concerned about, and said, "Sir, dare to ask how many years it will take for students to study at the county level." ”

Lin Chengyi thought for a while and said: "This, your foundation is very solid, there is no Mengxue article, although you only read one chapter of the university, but if you study the scriptures, you will get twice the result with half the effort than other scholars who only read the four books and five classics, but if you want to get ahead in the children's exam, you will need at least seven or eight years of hard work, even if you are gifted and intelligent, but three or four years of hard work is indispensable." ”

This is obviously far from Lin Yanchao's expectation of taking the children's test a year and a half later.

Lin Yanchao asked at the moment, "Sir, is there a faster way?" ”

Lin Chengyi listened and said sternly: "Do you think that it is so easy to start a career, and the most important thing to read is to pay attention to the principle of gradual and quick progress, do you know?" ”

Lin Yanchao said unconvinced at the moment: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to go step by step, but I just want to study to make myself more efficient. ”

Lin Chengyi listened and said silently: "You are not yet at the level of participating in the county examination, so you want to look at the champion, and if you want to take a shortcut, it is not nothing, first of all, you have to redouble your efforts, and secondly, you must have a famous teacher to guide you, so that you can take some detours." ”

At the mention of famous teachers, Lin Yanchao's eyes lit up and said, "Remember, Mr. said that he would choose a teacher for me." ”

"That's right, I did."

"Seeking a scholar not only needs to be guided by a famous teacher, but also needs to see the wisdom and wisdom, and cannot be done behind closed doors. On weekdays, I study the scriptures with a group of classmates who are interested in the imperial examination and have a high level, and then become the best among my classmates, and then go to the county examination. ”

Lin Yanchao sighed gloomily, he was just a classmate, and Zhang Guihe's level was similar to himself, and the rest were either too lazy, or they were not talented enough, so where did they start.

Lin Chengyi talked to Lin Yanchao, then looked up at the window and said slowly, "After returning to my hometown this time, my teacher has asked the clan elders to let you enter the Lianpu Lin family to open Lianjiang Academy to study. "'Lianjiang Academy?' 'Yes. Lin Yanchao looked shocked.

Lianjiang Academy was founded in the Tang Dynasty, where Zhu Xi and his disciple Huang Yu gave lectures and had a thousand-year heritage. It turned out to be the patriarchy of the Lin family in Lianpu, and the Jinshi of the Lin family all came out of it. ‘

"And at present, the mountain chief in Lianjiang Academy is a person, and the lecturer who teaches is also a tribute supervisor, and their studies are above the teacher, before you enter the school and become a student, it is enough to be your teacher." Lin Yanchao pondered that this was an opportunity equivalent to a mountain primary school in the future and an advanced provincial key middle school.
